Shut Up And Get It Done
Being sung with George Jones to the tune
"He Stopped Loving Her Today"
(He said I'll love you till I die)

My Daddy's always worked real hard
Supporting Mom and ten of us.
But now he putters 'round the yard
Still trying not to make a fuss.

If Goldman's still too big to fail,
Both Tim and Larry need to go.
Why aren't Lloyd's architects in jail?
Why can't you find someone who'd know?

We watched their credit swaps backfire;
And Daddy hoped that you would win –
But now they've forced him to retire.
So when do you think you'll begin?

Your stimulus will never work
According to the G.O.P. –
Though we don't trust McConnell's smirk,
I guess we'll have to wait and see.

While Dad was looking for a job,
You talked like Goldman Sachs had won.
But there's no corn left on the cob,
So please shut up and get it done.

Now ev'rything we own's in hock.
My Daddy's sick and we can't pay.
Still all we hear from you is talk,
And he stopped looking yesterday.
